About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 2001. First edition. Hardcover. vg. Folio (13 1/2 x 14 1/2"). 191, [1]pp. Original tan cloth, with white lettering to spine and front cover. Laid in in an envelope containing a 13 x 11" frameable reproduction print of a photograph in the book and exhibition: Aspens, Dawn, Dolores River Canyon, Colorado, 1937. Printed in tritone on a heavy cover stock, with Ansel Adams' facsimile signature and the blind embossed seal of the Ansel Adams Trust. Laid in a photo-illustrated sheet with Szarkowski text. Book is housed in its matching tan cloth slipcase, with white lettering to front panel. Frontispiece photograph. Title page printed in red and black.
In commemoration of the one-hundredth anniversary of his birth, "Ansel Adams at 100" presents an intriguing new look at this distinguished photographer's work. The legendary curator John Szarkowski, director emeritus of the Department of Photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art, has painstakingly selected what he considers Adams' finest work and has attempted to find the single best photographic print of each.
Szarkowski writes that "Ansel Adams at 100" is the product of a thorough review of work that Adams, at various times in his career, considered important. It includes many photographs that will be unfamiliar to lovers of Adams' work, and a substantial number that will be new to Adams scholars.
The book is an attempt to identify that work on which Adams' claim as an important modern artist must rest. "Ansel Adams at 100" - the highly acclaimed international exhibition and the book, with Szarkowski's incisive critical essay - is the first serious effort since Adams' death in 1984 to reevaluate his achievement as an artist.
The 114 exhibition prints, drawn from important public and private collections, have been meticulously reproduced in tritone to create the splendid plates in this edition, faithfully rendering the nuances of the original prints. The text is accompanied with 23 duotone photographic reproductions.
"Ansel Adams at 100" is destined to be the definitive book on this great American artist. John Szarkowski is director emeritus of the Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, New York. He is the author of such classic works as "Looking at Photographs," "The Photographer's Eye," "Photography Until Now," and "Atget," as well as several books of his own photographs, including the recently reissued "The Idea of Louis Sullivan."" (From the Publishers).
Block lightly jolted at top of spine. Slipcase, binding and interior in very good condition.
